Description
I'm very interested in using libigl for interactive simulations and posting them online.
Supporting webassembly and webgl through emscripten could make any application linking against this library more accessible.
I've created a branch which can do this with minimal changes. A few #ifdef, extracting the main loop, disabling comiso and embree, disabling popen and disabling wireframe mode.
If there is interest in this, I can contribute my changes as a few PRs.
This is my branch:
https://github.com/bwrsandman/libigl/tree/emscripten
Here is the webassembly interactive draw mesh tutorial:

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked emscripten branch and the webassembly interactive draw mesh tutorial to understand the proposed scope. Compare its conditional compilation, main-loop extraction, and disabled components with the current libigl structure; done would require a clear, maintainable contribution plan for webassembly and webgl support, which the issue does not yet define.
